Scorchio
Here we have a Scorcher that has been in someone's attic for a decade! It was said that it was runnng previous to that & a quick look at the chassis tells me that its in extremely good condition. There is a grub missing from the rear left axel & the front right wheel seems out of place. No cracks or major damage on the chassis (and I was expecting the worse). The shell is again in mint condition, no repair work & no damage but missing wipers, license plates, indicators & rear lenses. There are a few layers of horrible paint to be stripped. The tyres are well worn & gives me the impression this was a well used but cared for example.

I'd love to have one of these. If it was mine, I would strip the body and make a different paint scheme, but I would keep the color combination. You have a very nice project there, Connor!

Does indeed look in vgc mate you'll have loads of fun restoring it. Took delivery of some CRP goodies for one of mine today (and nearly finished stripping that shell that needs a repair too by the way...)

Nice one Connor .I think the new SS craze should be used condition models like this , very nostalgic

nice lil project thats a pretty cool colour just for the hell of it you should keep the scheme when you re-spray.
Connor
@swedishviking - yes they do look like sad mis-treated little things (until I transform it into a gleaming pedigree )
& seen as how you guys like the paintscheme I will use a similar 3 colour re-spray in the latest Ford metallics...

Hi connor. Oh not a MB hahaha. Nice project there. I agree with spzero paint is pants but the idea and colour scheme are good. Strip front suspension down I bet you find that the shaft the upper right arm is mounted onto is BENT they all do I'm afraid it has to be the worst bug bear. Hehehe BUG BEAR. Damn I tickle myself. Well I have to no one else will
